The pallid hours beneath the moon, Singing unto death, With a sad smile, Move one by one, On a lake bathed in moonlight, Where, with a sombre smile, They hold out, one by one, Their hands which lead to death:

And some, deathly pale in the moonlight, With unsmiling eyes, Knowing that the hour of death is nigh, Give their hands one by one, And all depart in the moonlit dark, To languish and then to die With the hours, one by one, The hours with the pallid smile.
